Seems to be one of those type of person in every place nowadays, manners are definitely out the window and nothing is done.

Enjoy being rich. Your new cardi is a bargain.

Only a few days to go and i am on hols. I cant wait. I am painting fence this weekend before parents arrive for hols. I have £300 in my current  account & £500 in house fund which i will use over the hols. My credit card bill for next month is already saved. 

I only paid the mortgage this month. No extra savings as i need money for hols as have a brother to entertain. He has bought me a new computer! and will be putting it together. We are going to Windsor for a day out too as Andy is doing a 26 mile charity walk for Macmillan. So proud of him. 

Apart from that i have to tidy house and sort garden and chill.

Not long until your hols now SW 🤗 Sounds like you will have a busy summer but it will be lovely for you to see your parents and brother. 

Good idea to have a month off savings and use it to enjoy your time off. Good luck to Andy on his 26 mile walk. What a marvellous thing to do for macmillan. Hope it’s not too hot for him ☀️

Your holiday will be so much fun, some house stuff but a lot more fun stuff.
Wishing Andy well on the walk.

I am on hols. My parents came last week and we had a great time, I am so chilled now. My brother bought me a new computer. Which i am still getting the hang of as it is rather posh. My computer room looks like the Starship Enterprise now!!! 

Andy walked his 26 mile marathon in the boiling heat and we went to support him. He raised loads in Steve's memory. My credit card bill for the hols so far is £780 so far and i have the money to pay it off but i will be careful for the rest of the month. The weather was sooo warm. 

Now i am going to do some tidying everyday and also some work. I ordered a Chinese last night and the cost has gone up to over £18!!!! for two portions of chicken fried rice and some soup! 

I have work to do for the next few weeks but will do this slowly. At present i must do some decluttering of my wardrobe and also the spare room.

You'll find the new PC a lot easier when you get the hang of it and adjust to running the enterprise. I struggle when I don't have an space ship to run!

Well done Andy, I'm so pleased for him.

Ouch, that's a lot, but I bet you enjoyed it.

Have a great holiday and do make time for you and not just work.

New computer sounds great 🤗 

I think all food has gone up and if you have it delivered there are extra costs for fuel too. Our local chinese delivered on an electric scooter last time I ordered from them! Not sure how much they cost to charge per mile/km

Today i am going to start to declutter my store room. I have also listed a necklace that i ordered in error months ago. Well that didn't take long, i have already got a bid after an hour! I got a £60 refund on my tax for last year!!!! so happy. 

It is raining which is wonderful as i put more feed and weed down last night in readiness after the heatwave. With regard to work,  I have done some filing but cannot start my lesson prep as Windows  hasn't opened up on my computer. A friend is coming in the hols to sort it but i am insisting on paying him. 

I have done some lesson work today, it's good to have made a start. Also the floor in the kitchen has been mopped, a few petunias and lobelia have been planted at the front of the house. I feel so lucky to be chilling.

That's a total contrast to all the previous holidays over however many years we've known each other, long may it continue!

Good luck with the sale and decluttering.

I have been walking and also decluttering. All computing issues are sorted now total cost £100 but it was worth it. I am so glad as now i can do some proper work. I have bought new trousers as my others have fallen apart. lol. £40 in total.
